Do I need to declare my gold and silver to the Dutch Tax Authority?

Yes, the Dutch Tax Authority considers the possession of precious metals, such as gold and silver, to be an investment. This means that you must declare your gold and silver in your annual tax return under box 3 (savings and investments). You should use the value of your precious metals as of the reference date, which is January 1 of the relevant tax year. This value is determined based on the current gold and silver prices on that date.

The documents below show the values of precious metals for previous tax years. This information can help you correctly complete your tax return.

Important: Holland Gold does not provide any information to the Dutch Tax Authority. The responsibility for correctly declaring your assets lies entirely with you. Make sure to submit your tax return accurately and on time to avoid possible penalties.
